Milliner tore his Achilles while lined up as an edge rusher during a Broncos’ field goal attempt. He only took a few steps then immediately went down in
pain and had to be helped off the field.

The 2013 first-round pick has battled the injury bug since suffering a high ankle sprain during training camp. That injury kept Milliner out until week two
against the Packers. But his return was short lived as in addition to his bum ankle, Milliner injured his quadriceps in that game.

Milliner made his return to the Jets lineup in week five against the Chargers and was the lone bright spot in a humiliating 31-0 loss.

The Jets also announced that they have placed left guard Brian Winters on injured reserve with a torn ACL. The 2013 third-round pick started all six games this season. The Jets claimed offensive lineman Wesley Johnson from the Steelers as a potential replacement for Winters.
